Frostburg State Community Mourns Slain Student

A memorial service was held on the campus of Frostburg State University to remember a student fatally stabbed at an off-campus party over the weekend.

Korthneigh McCoy was stabbed in the throat and head Saturday and died early Sunday morning. The Baltimore Polytechnic Institute graduate lived in northwest Baltimore.

Court records obtained by 11 News show that the woman accused of fatally stabbing McCoy, Shanee Liggins, told authorities someone else did the stabbing. Liggins is still being held without bail after a review hearing in Allegany County District Court set for Monday was postponed.

Devon McCoy, the victim's uncle, said he was not surprised when he heard that she was injured while trying to break up a fight.

"She wasn't a person that wanted to fight. She wasn't a rowdy person," McCoy said. "She wanted everyone to calm down and come together."

Students said McCoy was a nice person whom they never heard anything bad about and that the violence on campus really needed to stop. Students also told 11 News I-Team reporter Barry Simms that the campus atmosphere was tense.

For now, there are conflicting accounts of what happened. Witnesses told police a fight broke out during a party at an off-campus house where Liggins lives. Others said McCoy and her friends were thrown out of the party after one of them began arguing with Liggins. Police were also told that Liggins and McCoy were seen fighting.

As Liggins' parents left the courthouse Monday they asked for their privacy to be respected.

"This is a trying matter," Liggins' father said.

Frostburg State held a news conference Monday to discuss safety and security on campus and around it.
